Day 50: Casa at 50

I feel like I've been doing this forever now, but it's only been 50 days (well longer considering I hardly update on the weekends because I am out being cool and stuff). I figured, what better way to celebrate the halfway mark than with my favorite cafe in all of Korea: Casa Della Luce. I have actually been going to this cafe since they opened more than two years ago. I remember going in one October or so to study in the morning and, to this day, the most handsome coffee boy recognized me and gave me a free iced americano. Well, needless to say, i was hooked and continued to go there on a regular basis, usually 4 to 5 times a week. When they started serving sandwiches, it was a regular lunch place for me. The problem was, others soon caught on and started going as well. But the owner, and the boy, still recognized me and greeted me warmly every time I walked in. Then he just disappeared. I was sad for a while, until they replaced him with another cute guy, more feminine this time (pretty sure he swung this way), but still wasn't as nice as the first guy. He eventually left and they hired another guy, but he doesn't work downstairs anymore; he is reserved for upstairs along with the other cute guy who, I believe, manages the joint (at least the fancy Italian restaurant upstairs). I don't go there as often, I guess because it has become too popular and there is no good eye candy, but every time I do they recognize me, warmly greet me, and always manage to give me something free.
